Chris Wondolowski's equalizing score in the 70th minute had capped the Earthquakes' comeback from a two-goal deficit and San Jose had built momentum.

In 2 minutes, it was gone as Philadelphia's Sheanon Williams scored the go-ahead goal in the 72nd minute to help the host Union beat the Earthquakes 4-2 on Sunday night.

Andrew Wenger added a breakaway goal in the 79th minute for the Union (7-9-9). Wenger also opened the scoring in the 10th minute on a smash into the top corner, assisted by Sebastien Le Toux.

Le Toux followed 4 minutes later with his own goal for a 2-0 lead, capitalizing on a weak clearance attempt by San Jose (6-10-7). Sam Cronin got the Quakes on the board with a half-volley rocket into the top corner from well beyond the penalty box in the 59th minute.

The victory moved the Sounders ahead of the Vancouver Whitecaps in the standings for the Pacific Northwest's Cascadia Cup, the supporter-created rivalry among the three teams. The Timbers were effectively eliminated from the Cup race with the loss.

The Sounders (14-7-3) are in first place in the conference, and the Timbers (7-8-10) sit in sixth, one spot behind the Whitecaps.
